Luckie Daniels

By day, a Senior Technology Program Manager, Luckie Daniels is committed to Genealogy research and African Ancestry preservation, utilizing all the tools today's smart technology affords in this work. Luckie is a descendant of emancipated Ancestors from Washington-Wilkes Georgia. Shortly after the passing of her Maternal Grandmother, Fannie Louella Jackson Barwick in 1992, Luckie began her journey to preserve the memory of her family history by establishing Genealogy websites to document her Georgia and Alabama family lineage. 

In recent years, Luckie has added DNA science testing to her research "toolkit" to provide even more insight as it relates to her heritage and family's pre-Slavery points of origin. 

Luckie is excited about introducing her 13 year old Daughter Jaiya to the study of Genealogy and looking forward to what new family mysteries will be revealed through their recent AncestryDNA kit submission.

There is always more to the story to tell . . .
